Audiophile Words

“Liquid and Flow”

Changing the tubes made it sound more liquid with a better since of flow.

The liquid is flowing.

 Definition (from my better half ).
The pile of audio equipment no longer being used.

Punch



Kick

Your audio system has massive elephantitis balls with several ingrown hairs! But the wheelbarrow you use to carry your balls in are blocking all the lows.

I need to see this printed in a Stereophile review. Someday..

    "Slam"

[rollo]

 Others such as " The twang factor", " hits ya in the heart", "presence" [ the key to great sound] " sweet", " toe tapping".
  Last but not least the words that would make you commit suicide " Hi Fi sounding"

What exactly does that mean?

For me Country music has the same result on any system.

  Last but not least the words that would make you commit suicide " Hi Fi sounding"

What exactly does that mean?

  It is not a compliment, like hearing " I can't feel you" Meaning not good.

  That's funny!
I knew it wasn't a good thing, but what it means I don't understand. I also don't get why you wouldn't want your system to be described as sounding hi-fi, or "high fidelity".

Isn't that really our goal, by definition, if you really think about it?

Bob

[rollo]

  I believe our goal is to try to reproduce what we hear in real life. meaning tonality and harmonic structure.
  Live music such as my trumpet  our Son's Guitar or me banging away on a cymbal or snare help to determine how close we got to the real deal.
  Live acoustic music such as a piano, violin, harpsichord will let you know rather quickly how close or far away one is with their system.
   Years ago for a Club meet we recorded a guitar player positioned in between my main speakers on a stool. Using a Sony Mini Disc recorder the results were not a different as we thought. Good for me. Now a small ensemble or Orchestra would show more than a single instrument but that was impossible to accomplish in house.
  What really got our gander was when we assembled an outdoor system with Maggie 3As. The openness , clarity, tone and harmonics took all away. We were very surprised as to the result. Rooms suck. He he.
  Anyway, yes we are after Hi Fidelity however compared to live.

Understood completely. So it *should be* a good thing if our system was called "Hi-Fi"?

"Technically" speaking, of course.

Bob

p.s. That would have been fun to be there for the live vs. recorded sessions.
Didn't somebody do that at RMAF with a four piece string section?
Maybe VPMS?
